Vistaprint to Acquire Albumprinter, a Leading European Photo Book Provider

VENLO, NETHERLANDS—Oct. 24, 2011—Vistaprint N.V. announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Albumprinter, a privately held Dutch photo book and photo product company, for €60 million payable at closing and up to an additional €5 million based on a performance based earn-out. This acquisition is in line with Vistaprint’s recently announced strategy to be more proactive in its evaluation of acquisition opportunities in adjacent markets.

Albumprinter, based in Amsterdam, with a manufacturing presence in the Hague, is one of the top providers of photo books in the estimated EURO400 million European online photo book market. With approximately €37 million in revenue in the trailing 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2011, the company employs about 150 full-time employees, and has a primary market presence in the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden and Norway.

Through its award-winning, proprietary front-end technology, automated manufacturing processes, customer service and marketing focus, the company processes thousands of orders per day through both a direct-to-consumer model via its brands Albelli, Bonusprint, and Önskefoto, and an indirect model, for which it has partnered with leading retail stores throughout Europe.

This acquisition combines Vistaprint’s strengths of a pan-European customer base with Albumprinter’s specialized expertise and technology for the design and production of photo books. Vistaprint currently plans to promote the Albumprinter offering across the European market. The acquisition will also enable Albumprinter’s customers to benefit from a much expanded product offering of personalized products that Vistaprint produces.

“We look forward to welcoming the Albumprinter team and to combining our talent and strengths in support of customers throughout Europe. Albumprinter brings a company culture focused on customer satisfaction, intuitive user interface software, strong photo book manufacturing experience, a premium brand and a solid financial profile,” said Robert Keane, president and chief executive officer of Vistaprint.
